Substance evaluation - CoRAP

Substance evaluation - CoRAP

If a substance is on this list, it means that a Member State has evaluated or will evaluate it over the coming years. The list is called the Community rolling action plan (CoRAP).

For each substance, the table shows the evaluating Member State, the (planned) year of evaluation and a short description of the concern which led to it being placed on the list.

Documents to do with substance evaluation are also available here. They include: documents justifying selection of the substances, decisions to request more information. Member States' conclusions and Member States' final evaluation reports are included for substances for which evaluation has been finalised.

Notes to the Substance Evaluation table

Where two Members States are indicated, this is a joint evaluation. The first Member State mentioned leads the Evaluation and is the responsible competent authority in the meaning of Article 45(2) of REACH.

The substance public name is used. In most of the cases it is the name as disseminated on the ECHA website.

When the EC Number is not available, the number assigned to substance by ECHA after the inquiry process is used.

When the substances are included in the CoRAP, they have not yet been evaluated and thus the concern is indicative and not exhaustive or conclusive.

Contact details of the evaluating Member States are provided for all the substance included.

Please note that the justification document explains the grounds of the initial concerns that triggered the inclusion of the substance in the CoRAP for further clarification under substance evaluation. The justification document is based on a preliminary screening of the substance and is without prejudice to the outcome of the substance evaluation.
